The proper use of face masks can help curb down the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Along with other safety precautions such as hand washing and physical distancing, it can greatly help in keeping one safe from the virus. Universal and consistent mask-wearing could cut COVID-19 transmission in Saskatchewan by at least 50%.
A face mask is an important protective layer. There are hardly any situations that you cannot wear a mask in the few minutes that you are in a retail location or go into the office for work. If everybody will use face masks consistently, it can bring down the number of COVID-19 cases.
There is no mask-wearing policy in Saskatchewan, but the chief medical health officer does recommend wearing a mask when in public areas. Frequent hand-washing is also advised as well as staying at home when symptoms are present and maintaining physical distancing.
The chief medical health officer previously stated that if Saskatchewan hits an average of five new cases a day per 100,000, there could be further restrictions that would detrimentally affect the economy.
The best precautionary measure to lower your chances of acquiring the virus is to wear a mask at all times, especially in public venues.
